Languages Spoken: Polish, English, Basic Spanish

Ewelina grew up in Kaczaki, a small but beautiful village in Poland. During Ewelina’s childhood, her parents had a farm so after school, most of her days were spent helping them with any extra work. Ever since she can remember, sports and music have always been her passions, and she has earned
several distinctions in singing. Ewelina’s biggest dream was to travel and meet new people. Since both of these opportunities are provided through
yachting, she was led towards the industry a few years ago. She first began freelancing in Spain during her summers before joining the crew of a 126’ motor yacht full time and also spent a year on 75' BELLA SKY in the Bahamas/New England areas. Ewelina wants all guests to leave with a satisfaction-filled experience and tons of memories. She is dedicated to providing unparalleled service and leaves no detail behind.
